In Weekend NigaZ:'U's new policy, deputies make speaking your _______ mind a risky business " 'Last Temptation of Christ' Ninety-nine years of editorial/freedom Vol. IC, No. 7 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, September 16, 1988 Copyright 1988, The Michigan Doily 'Cane watch in effect for 'M' BY MICHAEL SALINSKY If there had been oddsmakers way back when, Goliath would have been 100 to 1 over David. And now the oddsmakers are saying Miami will beat Michigan by a touchdown, or more. Some even predict a rout. Miami, the number one team in the nation, looks very much like a Goliath and few commentators or armchair experts give the Wolverines much of a chance of beating them Saturday (3:30 kickoff time at Michigan Stadium). Can Michigan pull off an upset? "It's not an insurmountable task," said Michigan coach Bo Schembechler earlier in the week. IN 1984 Miami came in as the consensus number one team and fell to Michigan, 22-14. "We're hoping that history repeats itself," said Michigan's All-American defensive tackle, Mark Messner. Clearly, though, the Miami program is further along now than it was then. Coach Jimmy Johnson's Hurricanes are the defending national champions and their 13 wins in a row is the longest streak in college football. More startling are Miami's 33 straight regular season victories and 19 straight road victories. Their last loss on the road was against Michigan. This year was supposed to be something of a rebuilding year for Miami. Johnson will tell you, though, that the 'Canes don't rebuild, they "retool", since there are always players ready to step in. Miami surprised everybody by dominating Florida State, the previous number one, 31-0, in both team's season opener. But even with the lopsided score, Johnson saw faults in his team. "I don't feel that Florida State played that well against us," said Johnson.

Protesters rally 0 0 BY STEVE KNOPPER The University's Board of Re- gents originally planned to raise in- state tuition by 12 percent in July. But after today those plans may change significantly. Instead, the regents may honor a request from Gov. James Blanchard, who urged all Michigan colleges last month to keep in-state tuition in- creases below 10 percent. The regents will vote today on Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs Robert Holbrook's recom- mendation to raise in-state tuition only 7.5 percent, while keeping the increase for out-of-state and graduate students at 12 percent. BUT there is one catch, accord- ing to the new plan. For next year, each student - residents and non- residents - will have to pay an additional $30 in registration fees, yet the overall tuition figure will not reflect this number. In other words, students will be paying the same amount under this proposal as they would have under the July plan. But now, more money per in-state undergraduate will be charged as "fees," and less as "tuition." So if the regents accept Hol- brook's plan, they will balance the budget, while keeping within Blan- chard's boundaries for in-state tuition increases. "This proposal is not as good as (the 12 percent overall increase)," Holbrook said, adding that the re- gents will probably be concerned that Blanchard's office has too much influence over the University's fi- nancial affairs., THE NEW PLAN has drawn criticism from many areas. Some say the regents should have ignored Blanchard's influence in order to maintain the University's autonomy from the state, and others say the high registration fee merely dis- guises the true cost of attending the University. Social Work Prof. William Bird- sall, who chaired the Budget Priori- ties Committee when it recom- mended the 12 percent overall in- crease, said the original plan was better. "I'm very concerned. I don't know if I could use the word 'appalled,' but I am concerned," he said. "The Governor is practically blackmailing us out of our autbn- omy." Under the Michigan Constitution; state colleges and universities are See Tuition, Page 11 aiver taxes plague,,' TAs BY LISA POLLAK The good- news for University graduate student teaching assistants is that they don't have to pay tu- ition; their contract, signed in April 1987, gives them full tuition waivers for the first time this fall. But the bad news - that the fed- eral government since January has required GSAs to pay taxes on the tuition they don't pay - is a dire problem for students who could see an average take-home monthly pay of $560 drop $100 to $200, said Don Demetriades, Graduate See GEO, Page 2 BY RYAN TUTAK About 150 University students, staff and Ann Arbor citizens rallied yesterday against a set of new University rules limiting the range of student activism on campus, promising future militant action to force the repeal of the policies. After a one hour demonstration at Regents' Plaza, the protesters packed the public comments session of the University's Board of Regents' monthly meeting. Several of the demonstrators addressed the board. In July the regents voted to suspend the University Council, a body of students, faculty and administrators which had to approve any university-wide rules of con- duct. In addition, they gave the county sheriff the au- thority to deputize two campus security officers and ratified a protest policy that, restricts protest of campus events beyond "undue interference." THE PROTESTERS said the new policies fur- ther limit the free speech of political activists, who, they add, rarely get media attention for their views. Yet the policies insulate public figures and organizations, who repeatedly are in the news, from resistance when they come to campus, the demonstrators said. "What's at stake is not the first amendment rights of the CIA and the FBI, but the University's power to set the agenda," said Law school student Dave Bachman, a National Lawyers Guild member. The CIA recruited twice on campus last year, and the FBI plans to recruit here later this month. Judy Levy, bargaining chair for American Federation of State, County, and Municiple Employees, said Uni- versity employees have been harassed in the past for filing complaints and that the deputization may intimidate workers from speaking out.

This is espe- cially true today, when Festifall 1988 takes place with about 140 campus organizations converging on the Diag to promote their groups. Brad Borland, organizational con- sultant at the Student Organization and Development Center (SODC), said campus organizations will set up 170 tables, including political, religious, academic, social, special interest, and ethnic groups. Four to five thousand students are anticipated to be in the Diag for Festifall, Borland said. The purpose of Festifall is to in- form students about the vast range of organizations and activities available this year. Each organization will have a display table and several rep- resentatives to answer questions.

The White House denied that any serious thought was given to removing him from office by constitutional means. "It's total nonsense," said White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater. "It speaks more to the state of mind of some of the staff here than it does about the president." Fitzwater was referring to White House aides who were interviewed in 1987 by James Cannon, a longtime associate of Howard Baker. The interview took place on the weekend Baker replaced Donald Regan as White House chief of staff. In a new book by two newspaper reporters, Cannon is quoted as saying that after interviewing 15 to 20 White House aides, he wrote a memo to Baker that began: "Consider the possibility that section four of the 25th Amendment might be applied." The 25th Amendment, added to the Constitution in 1967, provides that the president may be removed if the vice president and a majority of Many aides President was and had lost his job. talked to "not all but most said in one way or another that the president was inattentive, that he had lost interest in his job." "There's nothing to this," said Fitzwater. "This is fiction by staff people who for their own reasons chose to say this. It was dismissed immediately by those who heard it. It was never taken seriously." Cannon also said he concluded after seeing Reagan that there was no reason to invoke the amendment and said he assumed the aides were motivated by loyalty to Regan, who had been removed by the president and replaced with Baker. said the inattentive interest in ryry ;h }} .. .. .:. ,.:. _ C ...
